    Are you referring to a picture of the watch? I posted one yesterday. If you're speaking directly to my point re: shipping weight for a single watch, here's a photo of the box:

    This is correct - mine may be (probably is) a bit of a "one off". FWIW (probably not much), mine has both BT and 3G; to use the 3G functionality I would have to add it to our Verizon plan and pay a $5/month device fee. I probably won't do this since the account is our company business account...

    I got mine today (just one S2) and the shipping weight for one unit was 1 lb.
